We flew out with Emirates when we validated, Manchester-Dubai-Singapore-Brisbane on the 777-300ER and they were fantastic.
We have also booked our one way flights with them on 24th June 09. We banked our air miles when we validated so have managed to upgraded to Business Class for the last part of the journey, (Singapore to Brisbane) at a cost of £98 per person extra.
Enjoy, whoever you book with.

Re: Emirates or Singapore airlines
I have long been flying on both airlines. They are neck to neck in service quality. If Emirates is cheaper by $400, perhaps you should go for it unless you think the extra stop in Dubai is not worth the savings.

Re: Emirates or Singapore airlines
Just booked with Emirates from Birmingham to Brisbane for £2500 for family of 4 (3 adults 1 child) flying 28th june for my interview/reccie come holiday for 3 weeks.
Is this a good price? searched all week and found it was cheaper to book direct online with Emirates

Re: Emirates or Singapore airlines
Emirates are really good. The food just keeps on coming.
I did the Gatwick - Dubai - Singapore - Melbourne route. It was nice as broke the journey up into three legs about 6 hours long. Most of the passengers got off in Singapore which meant that I had three seats to myself overnight on the way to Melbourne. It was nice being able to lie down flat

Although there is never a guarantee with these things I think I will stick to Singapore Airlines, but thats just my opinion. I know loads of people fly with Emirates and rate them highly.

We've just come back to Brisbane a few days ago with Emirates and although we were upgraded to business, their all round customer service both on the ground and in the air were brilliant. I would recommend joining their frequent flier scheme (skywards) as with the points we accrued from the last trip and outbound on this trip, it was enough for a an upgrade.

Re: Emirates or Singapore airlines
We have just got back from our validation trip and are now planning to go for good in July
We flew with Emirates this time, only because they fly from Birmingham, but had flown with Singapore several times before. We prefer Singapore. They seem more attentive, the food is a LOT nicer, Changi airport was fantastic, the flights are better lengths, compared to a 7 1/2 hour flight to Dubai and a 15 hour flight from Dubai to Sydney!!
Hope that helps!

Re: Emirates or Singapore airlines
HI
We have flown both recently and I have to say I give it to Singapore hands down. Their crew are very attentive (answered call button within 30 seconds most times), food excellent, very good with the kids, Changi airport is by far the best (modern, very clean (there was even a guy in the toilets cleaning the taps with a toothbrush) spacious and quiet (Dubai always seems packed), butterfly garden and swimming pool)).
Dont forget to check in on line both ways - everyone seem to do it leaving the UK so not a great deal of time saved BUT on the return from MEL to LHR the standard check in was about an hour wait; internet check in was 2 minutes. I guess not everyone remembers or can get on tinternet coming back. Good luck

Re: Emirates or Singapore airlines
Check the Singapore Airlines website, the flights on there at the moment are cheaper than anyone. 570 pounds until the middle of June return to Brisbane including all taxes. I just flew back to the UK for $4300 for 3 of us return including all taxes. Great service and comfy seats, the A380 is great.
